False positives.
NETGEAR's firmware is known for creating many false positives. This puts a strain on the CPU. As you can see in your log, there are even "attacks" from your local deices (192.168.x.x IP addresses).
I'd disable DoS protection completely and see if the issues goes away. You're not missing much since most are, as I mentioned, false positives.

The MR60 has no DoS protection, at least nothing tha is settable via the web or app interface.
I can understand false positives. Why would the router go offline (amber light) then come back online? Is that preventable?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.Whats the user manual say for LED behaviors on the MR?
